You are looking for 3M™ tint because you want the best. But in San Diego, many shops claim to use 3M, but install cheap dyed film instead. At Cali Glass & Tint, we don't just tell you it's 3M. We prove it.
If another shop offers you "3M Tint" for $199, run away. Real 3M film is a premium technology, not a commodity. Here is our promise to you:
Ask us, and we will walk you to the stock room and show you the official red 3M box.
Genuine 3M film has a faint "3M" logo printed on the liner (which we peel off). We will show you this before we start.
Don't believe the specs? Stand in front of our Heat Lamp display. Feel the difference between "Regular Tint" and "3M Crystalline" with your own hand.
We are one of the few shops in El Cajon stocking the genuine 3M™ Crystalline and Ceramic IR Series.
The only tint that blocks heat without looking like "tint".
Dark privacy look with nano-ceramic cooling.
See why cheap tint is expensive in the long run.

Yes. We use Crystalline 70 (CR70) or Crystalline 90 (CR90) for windshields. It is virtually clear but blocks the heat burning your hands and dashboard.
It is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against peeling, blistering, bubbling, or turning purple.
